T raveling l ady st ay a while
U ntil the ni ght is ov er
I 'm just a st ation on your way
I kn ow I am no t your love r
Well I l ived with a child o f snow
W hen I was a soldie r
And I fought every man f or her
Unt il the nights grew colder
She used to wear her hair like you
Except when she was sleeping
And then she'd weave it on a loom
Of smoke and gold and breathing
And why are you so quiet now
Standing there in the doorway?
You chose your journey long before
You came upon this highway
Traveling lady stay a while
Until the night is over
I'm just a station on your way
I know I am not your lover
